Confirmed: Sledgehammer and Raven working with Infinity Ward on Modern Warfare 3

Strange but true. It turns out that Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games, and Infinity Ward are all working on a single product for a rumored November release: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. We’d recently reported that Sledgehammer would be working on the new Call of Duty, as implied through their website’s recruitment page, but it had been long rumored that Raven would be developing the game. Now it seems that all three companies will be taking up different roles, with Sledgehammer and Infinity Ward working exclusively on the single player game and Raven Software taking on the multiplayer portion.

It could very well be that the additional labor was put in place in order to guarantee a quality, annually released product. As a lot of work and manpower go into make a big-budget AAA release meet a two or three year release date, creating yearly installments must be an enormous undertaking. Both Sledgehammer and the new, leaner Infinity Ward have yet to prove themselves with a release, so we’ll all be watching closely this holiday season to see if they have the chops to uphold the dynasty. Still, one has to wonder if the general player base even has the money or attention span to continue buying a new Call of Duty game every year. Here’s to hoping these studios release something deserving of the Modern Warfare name.

Im hoping it turns out like the origional SoF if Ravens doing it. I fucking loved that game. Quite Grimdark for an FPS, and not too proud of it unlike COD.

Yeah if they do it like SoF it would be awesome! Fucking loved the first one, the second one was pretty fun too... I just hope they don't fuck it up like they did with Quake 4. All I could say was... what.. the fuck Raven!?

I'll probably pass on this one as they are probably gonna make cheap whore packages like that one man army and danger close with n00btubes.. fucking bullshit.

All the old CoD titles were made by the same two companies...hopefully having completely different people with a different vision for the game will help it out in your eyes.

New companies wont make a difference, how could they when the company in charge of the MP was the one responsible for Quake 4 and Wolfenstien. I only hope lots of people *do* buy this only to see how shit it is and CoD finally dies the death it's deserved since MW2.

The MW title brings bad expectations.. but if they don't use the same engine and formula, this COULD be a good game.

Either way, I am not buying it. Haven't bought a CoD since CoD3.

Love how the resident tough guy is happy to talk trash on an internet forum but back pedals as soon as he is called out. Typical coward. No doubt he'll respond to this with excessive bravado in order to restore his rightful place as a fully fledged internet badass.

Ewww.. COD3 sucked monkey dong. Treyarch redeemed themselves with COD5 and did a decent job on CODBLOPS minus the shitty preformance on release.. If anything at least play COD5 cause it was fun.

As for the rest of your post? Yes, old skool Raven software is working on the MP of the latest COD.. but remember, they did make MP on Quake 4 and that was super shitty.. Quake 3 was superior in every way minus graphics... the netcode, the hitreg (the most important part of a deathmatch game minus the gameplay) was the worst shit ever.. I mean.. I used to play Halo1PC and the leading the character models by the time elapsed by your ping (so anywhere from 34ms to 200ms depending on the server) was easier to predict than the random pattern on Quake 4... they can't use the excuse of the game engine cause Splash Damage made their own netcode for Quake Wars and it worked out fantastic.. so shame on Raven on that one.. I just hope they do a better job on a proven game engine, if they can't? then they've truly lost their touch.
